Abstract

The study was conducted in purposively selected Jhajjar districts of Haryana state (India) with selected 33 number of Photovoltaic Water Pumping System (PWPS) adopted farmers from this district, and an equal number of non beneficiaries adjoining to the beneficiaries' farm were also selected. In this way a total number of 66 respondents i.e. 33 beneficiaries and 33 non-beneficiaries were included in the sample for the study. A significant majority of respondents two third (60.6 %) had medium level of technical knowledge, general knowledge (57.58%) and overall knowledge (54.54 %) by the adopted respondents. In case of non adopted respondents, had low level of technical knowledge (78.78 %), general knowledge (66.67 %) and three-fourth of farmers (69.69 %) overall knowledge. Majority of respondents 57.57% and 51.51% had favourable attitude in case of adopted and non-adopted, respectively. Land holding, education, socio-economic status, extension contact, source of income, risk orientation and change proneness were found to have positive and significant correlation ship. However, in case of non adopted farmers' socio-economic status and risk orientation were found to have positive and significant correlation ship. The regression coefficient of adopted farmers' Land holding, education, socio-economic status, extension contact, source of income, risk orientation were found to have positive and significant regression coefficient. However, in case of non adopted farmers, In case of non adopted farmers, socio- economic status and extension contact had positive and significant regression coefficient with the farmers' knowledge level.

Abstract

The study was conducted in purposively selected Hisar, Rohtak and Jhajjar districts of Haryana state with selected 61, 47 and 33 numbers of PWPS adopted farmers from each district, respectively and an equal number of non beneficiaries adjoining to the beneficiaries' farm were also selected. In this way a total number of 282 respondents i.e. 141 beneficiaries and 141 non-beneficiaries were included in the sample for the study. Due to adoption of PWPS at farmers' field, during the Rabi season the maximum decrease in area (4.41%) was observed in wheat crop. The area under barseem, mustard and barley was decreased to 3.31, 2.48 and 0.67 per cent, respectively. Whereas, the area under vegetables (9.06%) and horticulture (1.82%) was increased. The same trend were also observed during the Kharif season as the area under traditional crop namely cotton, rice and bajra was decreased up to 9.38,1.53 and 1.26 per cent, respectively. However, the area under vegetable (6.63%), horticulture (2.66%), sugarcane (1.91%) and jawar (0.97%) was increased due to adoption of PWPS.

Abstract

The study was undertaken to examine the physical and financial performance of the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) in Haryana. The outcomes revealed that the number of households provided employment under MGNREGA has increased rapidly during the period 2008-19 respectively. The total funds available to the district administration and total expenditure incurred under have changed through time. Similarly, the percentage of expenditure to total funds available have shown an increasing trend. The number of job cards issued to rural households (RHH) more than five times in 2018-19 over 200809. The results conclusively revealed that the number of job seekers under this scheme has been increasing all through the study period. The results have highlighted increasing participation of women in MGNREGS. The income of the participating households working under scheme has been supplemented to large extent.

Abstract

Financial inclusion is one of the important aspects to increase the financial growth of an economy. It is one of the oldest concepts in Indian history. Earlier, informal key players such as money lenders, brokers, etc. used to give credit to the farmers for the inputs required for the production of crops. But in today's scenario, the situation has changed a lot. Formal financial institutions especially banks have taken the pace for lending money to each and every section of the society. For the inclusion of the poor and economically backward sections, the government of India with the help of banks has launched various schemes. Knowing the status of financial parameters in the economy from time to time is also important so that the amendments can be considered for raising the status of financial inclusion. For the present study, one important parameter viz. savings in the accounts of respondents was considered to recognize the status of savings in the study area. The study was undertaken in the Hisar and Kaithal districts of Haryana. Binary logistic regression as a tool was performed to examine the impact of socio-economic variables on the undertaken parameter among the selected sample of households in both the districts. The results concluded that a rise in income and employment level will increase the savings in the accounts of bank account holders of the study areas.
